Drop The Pin: Demarcus Paul

Demarcus Paul spends some time exploring a random part of San Diego as he drops a pin in his maps app.

Technology has been an amazing thing for BMX. One tool that most people might not consider is just how useful Google Maps can be for finding new spots to ride. Demarcus Paul took on the Drop The Pin challenge from Ride BMX and ended up in a random part of San Diego to see just what it had or street spots. Hit play to see what he came across for things to ride with a few guest clips from Gary Young!

“The first of a new series…Drop The Pin is about simply cruising a random area in search of something outside the norm.

Demarcus blindly dropped a pin on a map of the greater San Diego area and we hit the road, parked, and pedaled ’til the sun went down. For the first attempt at this series, it went oddly well. Demarcus had been to the Banker’s Hill area before (he’s basically been everywhere in SD), but every single spot we rode was something he had never ridden before.” – Ride BMX

Here’s one we’re sure you guys will be stoked on. Demarcus Paul teamed up with filmer Doeby Huynh for the Sosh Urban Motion video contest over in France. They landed in 6th place overall, but you know these two ended up producing a real dialed BMX video that you won’t want to miss. Smooth lines and clean film work! You can’t go wrong with that.

“Winners of the World Wild Card ticket, Demarcus & Doeby bring their smile & skills from California to Paris. Demarcus smooth riding style fits perfectly with Doeby fisheye skills.” – Sosh Urban Motion

Earlier today, the X Games unleashed the Real BMX 2017 videos that we have all been waiting to see! We posted up each individual section, but figured it might be easier for people to check out all the videos in one place without having to click around so much. Below you can find all 6 sections from the Real BMX 2017 video contest, which all turned out absolutely amazing. Each rider and each filmer brought their own unique style of how they like to do things and it ended up creating very dialed BMX videos that you won’t want to pass up. After you check out each of the videos, make sure you head over to the X Games website to vote on your favorite video. Your votes will go toward the fan vote that will be announced in a few weeks.

Feeble Talk – Demarcus Paul

The latest Feeble Talk episode from Ride BMX has arrived. This time around Ryan Fudger sat down with a recently injured Demarcus Paul to talk about filming projects, sponsor changes, non-riding stuff, future plans and more. If you got over an hour to work with, hit play and take it all in!

“Welcome to Feeble Talk Home Edition. Aka Low-Fi. Aka the studio squad was busy all week. Aka there’s no green screen and the audio isn’t as good either because I don’t have foam on my walls. But yes, let’s not have that distract from what I think is probably the most solid, interesting FT (that I’ve done, at least) with Volume/Animal pro Demarcus Paul…
